I own a 2 story 1800sq ft semi-detached house. The upstairs is always 5-10 degress warmer in the summer. Will this make a significant improvment?

If you have an attic vent fan already working efficiently then probably not. If you do not have one, then installing this should help reduce heat build up in the attic which in turn should reduce the heat on your second floor.

No, you want to make sure your house is insulated properly. This is to exhaust the attic of heat.

Not really, it keeps the hot air from being stagnant, my walls are slightly cooler.

Yes. You might need to play around with the levels of heat but it will work fine.

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

It depends on the humidity you're at, and the humidity you're trying to get. I have a 2100 square foot house with high ceilings, and it makes a difference, but I'm also only doing like a 35% humidity in the winter... and I'm not really sure I ever get to 35% humidity, I just know it's definitely doing work. I would really recommend something bigger, as your house heater would likely allow for something bigger anyway. However, having one or two of these installed isn't a waste of time.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

Probably not well. Many factors need to be considered such as the ambient temperature and how much you would like to raise it. 1,500 watts or 5120 BTU's per hour would raise your room with average insulation only 10 degrees F. It would make you feel warmer having it next to you while you were out there. Here's a link to an on-line calculator that you might find helpful. http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html

I have a 2 story, 2 bedroom.. it is downstairs in the living room. Because it has a blower, it keeps downstairs pretty warm but upstairs is always super warm. I live in Ca.

I think so! I am not noticing any bill escalations. It is set for 70 degrees for my 3rd level master bedroom area. It cuts off after 70 degrees. It should not be used for the entire house. Hope this helps.

Should do just fine in nyc. Mine is doing very well with filtered light and never gets direct sunlight. The temperature stays around 70 inside.dont see any problems for you

I would have to guess a room 600 to 900 square feet would be fine and you'll probably get a 3 to 5 degree rise in temperature if left on

it will, but it will be a lot hotter near the unit than the other end of the room

I am. It's going to be relative to the size of your room. I use it in my basement, which is quite large but it's a secondary heat source and helps take the chill off in the winter.

Yes it will. Has for me but we don't get super high/ continued humidity. Just a few months over 80%

Using it daily on the low setting I don't see any impact on my electric bill. The comfort from the extra moisture and the added warmth of the air since it's more humid make up for the minor cost of operation.

Depends the dog house was very small for my pet..it's more for a chihuahua or a small doggie and dog house doesn't have ventilation so it may get too hot in the summers.

I think so. Would work better at the bottom as the heat rises from it. The lower the better.

As long as you have ventilation. It pulls air from my 2nd floor window through the 1st and 2nd floor, and if I close the windows on the 1st floor, I get a nice breeze through my 2nd floor window on the opposite side of the house from the fan. And it's worth noting that it is several years old and still going strong.
